Ruby,Cathy and Shari,
John and I just learned of Ray’s passing. It hit us hard. Neeley was here when we found out. We are all just devastated. The Cobles were our first first and dearest friends in North Little Rock. So many wonderful memories. We will never forget your kindness to us when we moved to a town that we knew no one! You all will never know how much easier your friendship made the move for us. We have never had neighbors like y’all since. You were our NLR family. Love you all so much and pray God comforts you daily.
